SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FitStar,
a leading digital health and fitness company, has launched its popular
mobile, video-based fitness app, FitStar™ Personal Trainer, for
Android users in the U.S., with other territories coming soon. A
recipient of Apple's Editors' Choice Award, as well as an App Store Best
of 2013 and Best of 2014 product, FitStar Personal Trainer's
expansion to Android opens the door for an entirely new audience to
access the same award-winning FitStar experience on their mobile phones.

FitStar Personal Trainer for Android puts convenience in users’
hands by crafting personalized sessions led by football star Tony
Gonzalez that can be done anywhere, anytime. Each workout is fully
customized to a person’s fitness level so it can support a wide range of
exercises, for people just getting started to highly conditioned
athletes. By tailoring the intensity and difficulty of each move, the
workouts progress as the user progresses.

FitStar Personal Trainer for Android offers a wide range of
exercises within four goal-based Programs: Get Strong, Get Lean, Get
Moving and Daily Dose. To keep the experience fresh, FitStar Personal
Trainer also launches stand-alone workouts monthly, and to date has
debuted nearly 30 handcrafted Freestyle sessions such as “10-Minute
Abs,” “7-Minute Workout,” and “The FitStar 15.” Freestyle sessions are a
perfect way to change up workouts or add on to existing sessions, and
now they’re available for Android users, too.

"We designed FitStarPersonal Trainer to
inspire people to live healthier lives,” said Dave Grijalva, Co-founder,
FitStar. “FitStar for Android has been a top priority for us for some
time—it is actually the number one request we get from our users. We
knew it had to be the highest quality experience we could provide, so we
started from scratch to create something that feels totally at home on
the Android platform. Now a whole new audience can use FitStar’s
groundbreaking, adaptive training technology to reach their fitness
goals.”

To ensure users are staying on track with their goals, FitStar
Personal Trainer for Android featuresweekly and lifetime
stats, including sessions completed, calories burned, and total workout
time from the in-app dashboard. Users can share their session summaries,
as well as badges, across supported social channels to stay motivated
and inspire friends and family. The mobile app and FitStar Personal
Trainer web application work in tandem, ensuring users’ progress is
always reflected whether they are doing workouts on-the-go with their
Android device, or checking in at home via the web.

In March 2015, FitStar was acquired by Fitbit
and works with Fitbit’s leading platform. Users of FitStar Personal
Trainer can publish workouts into their Fitbit account to see how
their personal training practice affects their overall health. Using
their Fitbit app login, users of the Fitbit platform can also easily set
up a FitStar account. Fitbit’s broad mobile compatibility (including
over 200 Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices, as well as computers),
and the debut of FitStar Personal Trainer on Android, helps even
more people reach their fitness goals. Together, the Fitbit and FitStar
apps support individuals seeking active and healthy lives.

FitStar Personal Trainer for Android offers two personalized
sessions a week and a handful of Freestyle sessions for free. Access to
unlimited personalized sessions and all Freestyle sessions is
$7.99/month or $39.99/year. For more information visit http://fitstar.com
